The IOLA REGISTERIolan finds career path in passion

Register/Richard LukenChildren of the late Wendell “Wendy” Frazell were on hand Wednesday to present $2,500 to Iola High School from memorials collected following the former teacher and coach’s death on New Years Day. On hand for the presentation were, front from left, Kent Frazell, Linda Monninger and Craig and Jay Don Frazell; and sec-ond from left, Doug Kerr, Marv Smith and Martin Bambick.

Family, school honorlate coach’s legacy

By RICHARD [email protected]

Iola High School officials may have found a fitting tribute to the late Wendy Frazell — by reflect-ing upon Frazell’s love of patrio-tism and youth athletics.

Frazell, a long-time teacher and coach in Iola, died at his home on New Years Day. He was 87.

Memorials to the IHS athletics department raised about $2,500, which Frazell’s four children do-nated to the school Wednesday.

“Our father was born and raised here, and he loved Iola,” said Iolan Linda Monninger, Fra-zell’s daughter. “He was so happy when he got to come back here in 1962.”

Monninger was joined by her brothers, Kent, Jay Don and Craig, for Wednesday’s check pre-sentation.

Wendell “Wendy” Frazell taught and coached at IHS for 28 years, retiring in 1990.

Frazell brought his military background — he served in the Navy during World War II — to the classroom, teaching precision marching and marksmanship (us-ing a bow and arrow) in his physi-cal education classes.

“He would get so mad if you got out of step,” Jay Don Frazell re-called with a chuckle.

WITH THE $2,500 in hand, school officials — upon the Fra-zell descendants’ suggestion — will look into purchasing an au-tomated flag system that would lower the American flag in the IHS gym while the national an-them is played at different sport-ing events.

Little explanation is needed when talking about Batman, Spi-derman or Superman. Some of the our culture’s most popular movies are based on those fig-ures of heroism. However, the diehard fans follow the charac-ters from their two-dimensional origin, comic books.

Iolan Drew Shepherd is one of those die-hards. His ad-miration for the comic art me-dium brought him to his life’s passion, draw-ing and creat-ing comic book characters.

“I have always been kind of an artist,” Shepherd said. “I have al-ways been into superheroes and one day it just kind of hit me.”

The idea hit him roughly sev-en months ago and he started recollecting, sketching and tak-ing drawing classes at Allen Community College.

Shepherd, 20, is mainly in-spired by Batman and Spider-man, which are products of DC Comics and Marvel.

Shepherd said when drawing his own characters he doesn’t play off of other work, but he does enjoy drawing and per-fecting his talent by replicating characters, such as the Joker.

“I have always had a natural drawing ability, but after taking classes I have been able to hone in more and develop my own kind of style,” he said.

His own style has brought him to developing a modern charac-ter, Drake Samuels. This dark hero’s father was a drug addict. His brother died from an over-dose and Samuels himself is a recovering addict.

Samuels becomes “a vigilan-te and tries to bust up the drug

trade,” Shepherd said. Shepherd has perfected his de-

veloping process. He begins with pencil and then inks it, by refin-ing the pencil lines with black ink. He also uses colored pencils to add color occasionally.

Many times Shepherd said he would take old action figures, paint them, and then position them so he can have a physical visualization for his developing character.

Shepherd said he wants to slowly get his foot in the door working for a comic book com-pany, even if he is just an inker. His dream is to work for the big wigs, DC Comics and Marvel.

“It would be one of those jobs you like going to every day,” he said. “Just to be affiliated with those (publications) would be great. I would be a kid in a candy store every day.”

Shepherd is a comic book con-noisseur and said when watch-ing the comic book-based movies he has to take them with a grain of salt.

“I have to remember that they are film adaptations. They bring in bits and pieces,” he said.

Shepherd said he is glad to see Andrew Garfield as the new Spi-derman. “He captures the essence of Peter Parker’s nerdiness.”

It would be one of those jobs you like go-ing to every day. Just to be affiliated with those (publications) would great. I would be a kid in a candy store every day.

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Offi-cials tasked with creating a regu-lated marijuana system in Wash-ington state said Tuesday they are moving forward with a time-line of issuing producer licenses by August, but said that several challenges and uncertainties still exist surrounding the new law.

Pat Kohler, director of the state Liquor Control Board, told lawmakers on the House Govern-ment Accountability & Oversight Committee that those concerns include continued uncertainty about what the federal govern-ment will ultimately do about Washington and Colorado’s voter-

approved marijuana legalization laws.

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee and Attorney General Bob Ferguson met with U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder last week, but were offered no further clarity on how the federal government will re-spond to last fall’s votes in both states that set up legal markets for marijuana.

The two states voted to legal-ize recreational marijuana use by adults over 21 and to create state-licensed systems of growers, pro-cessors and retail stores that sell heavily taxed pot. The creation of those regulatory schemes poses a possible conflict with federal law,

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Repub-lican legislators in Kansas want to rewrite the education funding provision in the state constitu-tion to end a pending lawsuit that threatens to force the state to boost spending on public schools.

The proposed amendment would add a new sentence to the Kansas Constitution’s article on education, declaring that the Legislature has the exclusive power to determine how much the state will spend on schools. Senate Vice President Jeff King, an Independence Republican who helped draft the measure, said he believes it would render the law-suit moot.

The Senate Education Commit-tee agreed Wednesday to sponsor such a measure before seeing the

text. King provided a copy of the language to The Associated Press when the proposal was finished Wednesday night. Supporters plan to have it formally intro-duced today in the Senate.

King, an attorney, is also chair-man of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and said his panel will have hearings on the mea-sure next week. It must be ad-opted by two-thirds majorities in both chambers and approved by a simple majority of voters in a statewide election to change the constitution. Supporters hope to put the proposal on the ballot no later than the August 2014 prima-ry election.

Many of King’s fellow conser-vative Republicans have been frustrated by a string of court decisions over the past decade,

Cleaning up

By ROXANA HEGEMANAssociated Press

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Struggling plane maker Hawker Beechcraft re-leased employment num-bers Wednesday that showed its work force in Kansas has fallen below the level required to re-ceive the full amount of incentives from state and local governments.

The Wichita-based aircraft manufacturer — which makes general aviation and military trainers — said it had 3,372 employees in Kansas as of Dec. 31 and is cur-rently trying to fill more than 65 open positions in Wichita. The company employs more than 5,400 people worldwide.

Hawker Beechcraft was granted $45 million worth of incentives in December 2010 based on a commit-ment to keep 4,000 people employed in Kansas over 10 years. Incentive cash payments are reduced when the workforce falls below 3,600.

“While this places the company slightly below the 3,600 threshold in the original agreement, sce-narios such as this were contemplated by the origi-nal agreement to protect taxpayers and therefore, this year’s payment will be reduced accordingly,” the company said in a news release.

The company had been originally scheduled to re-ceive a $5 million annual payment, but instead will receive a prorated pay-ment of roughly $4.2 mil-lion because of the lower

employment numbers, ac-cording to the Kansas De-partment of Commerce.

“We agree there should be benchmarks tied to any taxpayer incentives and we expect Hawker to make every effort to hon-or its original jobs com-mitments,” Frank Larkin, spokesman for the Ma-chinists union, said in an email.

Kansas had anxiously awaited the release of the employment numbers af-ter Hawker Beechcraft’s decision in October to shed its unprofitable busi-ness jet manufacturing as it emerges from bank-ruptcy protection. The slimmed-down company — which plans to rename itself Beechcraft Corp. — will focus on more prof-itable turboprop, piston, special mission and mili-tary aircraft, as well as its parts, maintenance, re-pairs and refurbishment business.

Dan Lara, spokesman for the Kansas Depart-ment of Commerce, said it sounds like the company is in a good starting po-sition as it emerges from bankruptcy, and that the numbers are not that far off from what had been stipulated in the incentive agreements.

“I don’t think we knew what to expect, per se,” Lara said in a phone in-terview from Topeka.

Hawker Beechcraft chairman Bill Boisture said in a news release that the company is commit-ted to being successful in Wichita.

“We worked with state

officials to put together a responsible, common sense deal and appreciate the ongoing support we have received from local and state officials,” Bois-ture said. “Despite sever-al difficult years marked by a global economic re-

cession and the financial restructuring we are on the verge of completing, we have worked hard to attract and retain a high-ly skilled work force and size the business appro-priately for the markets we serve.”

The company has said it will seek court approval to exit Chapter 11 bank-ruptcy at a hearing today and expects to emerge in the latter half of Febru-ary, if the bankruptcy judge approves the plan. It has also secured a com-mitment for $600 million in financing as it leaves bankruptcy protection.

“They have been through a tough time, and the employees there have obviously undergone a lot,” Lara said. “And we are happy for them that they will continue, it sounds, to move forward.”

SHAWNEE, Kan. (AP) — Johnson County’s district attorney says the Shaw-nee City Council violated the spirit of the state open meetings law when the council made “deals” to elect the mayor’s uncle to a council seat.

District Attorney Ste-

phen Howe said Wednes-day that it’s difficult to determine if the council broke the letter of the law, but it’s clear they broke the spirit of the law. He’s recommending that the council receive training on the state’s open meet-ing laws.

The problem began last May, when several people applied to fill a vacated council seat. But Howe says evidence shows that Mayor Jeff Meyers talked to at least half of the eight council members about appointing his uncle to the seat.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — A longtime Kan-sas City-area lawyer who recently began with-drawing from criminal cases pleaded guilty Wednesday to conspir-ing to launder the drug money of an undercover agent posing as a mari-juana dealer.

Through pleas entered in Kansas federal court, Ronald Partee admitted that he and the operators of a credit counseling service agreed to fun-nel drug money through Kansas bank accounts. Prosecutors have agreed to recommend a five-year prison term, though a sentencing hearing hasn’t been set.

The Kansas City Star reports that Partee was described, in a written statement from his attor-ney, as a respected mem-ber of the Missouri Bar.

“But his errors of judgment in a small-scale money laundering case, in which he did not receive even a dime in illegal money, have now cost him his career and his freedom for up to five years,” his attorney

Gary W. Hart said.Prosecutors said Par-

tee served for a period on the non-profit counsel-ing agency’s board and approved two wire trans-fers that he believed were drug funds. He also engaged in a discussion with the undercover agent who was posing as a drug dealer about the storage of marijuana, prosecutors said.

Workers at the credit counseling agency are charged with conspiracy, money laundering and possession with intent to distribute marijuana.

During 37 years of practicing criminal law, the 66-year-old Partee represented a string of high-profile defendants, including Kansas City, Mo., Councilwoman Saundra McFadden-Weaver. She was convict-ed in 2007 of mortgage fraud charges.

In the late 1990s, Par-tee also represented po-litical consultant Cath-ryn M. Simmons in the public corruption tri-als of former Missouri House Speaker Bob Grif-fin.

In cities like Port Said, the pro-testers have displayed an open defiance of President Mohamed Morsi’s orders on a curfew and state of emergency. Egypt’s Army chief warns of the state collaps-ing. And indeed, many Egyptians now talk of splitting up the Arab world’s most populous state.

The triggers for this upheaval were the second anniversary of the fall of Hosni Mubarak and a court sentencing 21 people for the deaths of 74 people after a soc-cer match last year. But below the surface of this dissent lies a deeper struggle. It is one trying to define the source of legitimacy for Egypt’s new leaders, or the kind of sentiment that cements trust between a government and its people.

As it has slowly risen to power in the past two years, the Muslim Brotherhood has broken many promises about the role it would play in representative govern-ment. Its flip-flops and power grabs in forming a new regime have only added to a worry among democracy advocates that Mr. Morsi would define his authority from Islam, or sharia law, rather than from constitutional rights and secular pluralism.

Even within the Brotherhood,

a decades-long debate on reconcil-ing Islam as a revealed religion with liberal democracy has yet to be settled, resulting in splits and high-level defections. A younger

generation in the group wants to rely on persuasion to gain sup-port while an old guard sticks to al-sama’ wa’l-ta’a, or “hearing and obeying.”

Now an Islamic movement founded by an Egyptian school-teacher in 1928 faces the kind of protests that brought down a secular dictator. Protesters even

chant the same word used in 2011: “Leave.”

Many Egyptians, or at least those in major cities, appear to be worried that their country might follow the path of Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution, in which Islamic leaders cite holy writ for secular authority more than they do public polls or election results.

The current protests show Egyptians trust democracy itself but they want more checks and balances on the power of elected leaders. Distrust is built into any democracy as a way to prevent the abuse of power by a few even if the system itself requires pub-lic trust.

“Trust is a kind of shorthand for a whole range of expectations and emotions about the content of our public life,” writes British philosopher Marek Kohn in a 2008 book, “Trust: Self-Interest and the Common Good.”

As in personal relations, trust in government requires a great deal of openness and equality. Those traits are not well prac-ticed within the Brotherhood’s strict hierarchy. It will need to adjust quickly if it wants to win back the support of Egyptians.

Egypt: deficit of trust in Muslim Brotherhood

By CHRISTY LEMIREAP Movie Critic

LOS ANGELES (AP) — This may sound sacrilegious to the legions of hardcore “Star Wars” fans, but having J.J. Abrams di-rect “Episode VII” will be a vast improvement and the best thing to happen to the franchise in a very long time.

Yes, it was incredibly cool in 2005’s “Episode III — Revenge of the Sith” to see the completion of Anakin Skywalker’s transfor-mation from plucky, love-struck teen to the embodiment of all that is deeply evil in the galaxy as Darth Vader — to hear him take that first raspy breath from beneath the iconic black hel-met. But George Lucas’ prequels were, for the most part, soulless, airless affairs and a far cry from the imagination and rough-hewn, can-do thrills of his origi-nal trilogy.

You don’t go to a “Star Wars” movie — and watch it 18,000 times, then camp out in front of a theater with your homemade light saber and Yoda sleeping bag waiting for the next one — for the smart, complex dialogue or well-drawn characters. But with Abrams at the helm and Oscar-winning “Little Miss Sun-

shine” screenwriter Michael Arndt crafting the script, there is some hope (a new hope, if you will) that the series finally will be infused with a deeper sense of humanity.

Lucas was correct in call-ing Abrams “an ideal choice to direct the new Star Wars film” in announcing the selection of a director in a late-night news release on Friday. And when he told the world in October that he was selling his Lucasfilm em-pire, including the lucrative and beloved “Star Wars” franchise, to The Walt Disney Co. for $4.05 billion, Abrams was at the top of many fans’ lists of dream direc-tors.

He certainly was at the top of mine when I pondered what sort of fit various filmmakers might be for this material. Back then, I wrote that Abrams was “the most obvious choice, really. His sci-fi bona fides were already beyond reproach, and he solidi-fied them with his reimagining of the ‘Star Trek’ franchise in 2009. ... This just makes sense all around.”

It’s true. If you look at the way he handled the redo of that other revered space series, it might provide some clues as to

what his “Star Wars” might look like. Abrams clearly aimed to please the broadest possible au-dience by remaining faithful to the “Star Trek” mythology in some ways while shaking it up in others; the film made nearly $386 million worldwide and the follow-up, the 3-D “Star Trek Into Darkness,” is due out May 17. Some fans were thrilled that he would boldly go to such dar-ing places while some purists balked at the vast departures he took. And that might be true of the response “Episode VII” will get in 2015, when it’s scheduled to come out; people tend to get proprietary when they’re so emotionally invested in the sto-ries like this.

Abrams’ “Super 8” from 2011 is another great example of his grasp of, and reverence for, the wonder that can accompany the best science fiction experiences. His homage to late-’70s, early-’80s Steven Spielberg productions is full of childhood innocence and the excitement of storytelling. And as he demonstrated with these films as well as his contri-bution to another beloved fran-chise, 2006’s “Mission: Impos-sible III,” the man knows how to direct an action sequence. He also happened to work with Lucas’ In-dustrial Light & Magic and Sky-walker Sound on post-production

on all the films he’s directed, so a comfort level already exists from an effects perspective.

He’s a busy guy these days, though. Between steering these two massive franchises, he also has many other projects in the works through his production company, Bad Robot. Among

them: a recently announced bi-opic of disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong, a possible “Clover-field” sequel and the post-apoca-lyptic television series “Revolu-tion.” As talented and visionary as he is, who knows how good of a juggler he’ll be?

But “Star Wars’” influence on Abrams is well-documented, which is cause for optimism; he probably won’t come up with some all-singing, all-dancing ex-travaganza with Jar Jar Binks at the center. And he spoke of it as recently as Saturday night at the Producers Guild Awards, where he accepted the Norman Lear

Achievement Award in Television for the groundbreaking series he created, including “Felicity,” ‘’Alias” and “Lost.”

He said being chosen to direct “Episode VII” is “as surreal as it is exciting.” Asked what kind of spin he might put on such well-estab-lished material, he acknowledged

that it was early in the process, but said: “I want to do the fans proud. I want to make sure the story is something that touches people. And we’re just getting started. I’m very excited.”

Others in the industry already are excited, as well. “Modern Fam-ily” co-star Eric Stonestreet said at the Screen Actors Guild Awards Sunday night that he was looking forward to Abrams’ “Star Wars” based on the success of his “Star Trek.”

“I have faith,” Stonestreet said. “I’m hoping J.J. does J.J., because nobody else is doing it that well.”

Abrams a ‘new hope’ for Star War franchise, fans

“The courts have inter-preted the constitution to say they have the authority,” King told The Associated Press during an interview. “It’s time for the people of Kansas to put that debate to rest.”

The proposal is likely to meet strong resistance from education officials, as well as Democrats and many

moderate Republicans in the Legislature. In the past, they’ve argued such mea-sures would allow the state to shortchange schools.

King said he wants to cut off the “endless cycle of liti-gation.” But Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a teacher and Topeka Demo-crat, said the courts have only stepped in because of lawsuits prompted by the Legislature’s refusal to ad-equately fund schools.

“They want to change the rules in the middle of the game, basically,” Hensley told AP. “It’s the ultimate cop-out.”

The education article says that the Legislature shall “make suitable provision for finance” for the state’s “edu-

cational interests.” The pro-posal would add a new sen-tence saying, “The financing

of the educational interests of the state is exclusively a legislative power” and “shall be established solely by the

Legislature.”The Kansas Supreme

Court has said the existing provision means legislators must finance a suitable edu-cation for every child, sug-gesting in 2005 and 2006 that the state could face continual increases in spending to en-sure that public schools keep improving.

Lawmakers dramati-cally increased spending on schools after those rulings but backed away from their promises during the Great Recession.

That prompted a new law-suit, resulting in a ruling by a three-judge panel in Shaw-nee County that the state must boost is spending by at least $440 million a year. And, especially irritating conser-

vatives, the judges criticized legislators for claiming to do all they reasonably could for schools while approving massive income tax cuts last year.

The state is pursuing an appeal, but it’s not clear when the Supreme Court might rule. King said sup-porters of the constitutional change hope voters approve it before a high court deci-sion. He didn’t rule out a spe-cial election before August 2014.

King said he’s also back-ing the measure because the courts order change in how education funds are distrib-uted, for example, by ruling that too much money goes to rural schools at the expense of urban schools.

which outlaws marijuana, and the Justice Department hasn’t said whether it will sue to block the state laws.

Inslee is expected in the coming days to send Holder a memo outlining key regula-tory and enforcement issues that the state will be looking at.

Kohler said another con-cern has to do with banking and how, if at all, they’ll be able to get federally-insured banks to do the banking for taxes and other revenue re-lated to marijuana.

“I think it would be a public safety issue for it to be a cash operation,” Kohler told law-makers, and said the Liquor Control Board is working with the state Department of Financial Institutions to dis-cuss alternatives.

Rep. Steve Kirby, D-Taco-ma, a member of the commit-tee who also serves as chair-man of the House Business & Financial Services Commit-tee, said that banks and cred-it unions aren’t interested.

“They just won’t go there,” he said.

He raised the issue of the

idea of a state bank, a mea-sure that previously has not gained traction in the Legis-lature.

“That just might be a way to have a regulated system for handling the finances in this large industry,” he sug-gested.

Kohler said that several other concerns have been raised during the first two of six public forums on the issue that have been held to date, including concerns about the proposed taxation structure driving the price so high that it creates a black market, as well as how to deal with past criminal histories of potential licensees.

Rep. Chris Hurst, a Demo-crat from Enumclaw who is chairman of the commit-tee, said he believed anyone who dealt in the recreational marijuana market, not medi-

cal marijuana, before the new law took effect should be considered a criminal and looked upon as such.

“They have been breaking state and federal drug laws, they have not been paying taxes, they’re engaged in money laundering,” he said. “What would cause you to think they would obey the law in the future?”

The agency is charged with regulating marijuana under Washington’s mea-sure. It will hold four more public forums through the end of February, and a draft of proposed rules for pro-ducer licenses is expected to be filed by mid-April. Under their timeline, the board said that producer licenses would be effective in August, and processor and retailer licens-es would become effective on Dec. 1.

H MarijuanaContinued from A1

Such a system costs about $3,000.

Martin Bambick, IHS athletics director, said the school has started to look at the logistics, to ensure the system can be hung from the gymnasium’s ceiling.

“I think we can make something work,” Bambick said.

On hand for the check presentation were IHS foot-ball coach Doug Kerr and track and cross country coach Marv Smith, a for-mer colleague of Frazell’s.

Smith regaled the group with a number of stories about Frazell, and his love of fishing, athletics and current and former Iola High students.

It was not basketball for the faint of heart Wednesday.

Allen Community College’s women hosted Johnson County in a defensive slug-fest, with neither team able to do much of-fensively until the visiting Cav-aliers began connecting from downtown.

Johnson County — the second ranked team in NJCAA Division II — hit four 3-pointers in the second half, enough to maintain a safe working margin to defeat Allen 51-37.

The loss drops the Red Devils to 11-10 overall and 4-5 in Kansas Jayhawk Conference Eastern Di-vision play. Allen continues its toughest stretch of the confer-ence season Saturday at High-

land. Saturday’s tilt will be the third of four against the top four squads in the Eastern Division standings.

Despite the loss, Red Devil coach Mark James was encour-aged.

“We were able to get good looks at the basket whenever we wanted,” James said. “Those shots just didn’t fall tonight. A lot of that has to do with John-son. When you play them, you know they’re going to guard you. But I think we guarded them pretty well, too.”

The first half was particularly defense-oriented.

Neither team did much offen-sively through the first 10 min-utes of the game.

Allen’s Miracle Davis drained a 3-pointer at the 9:42 mark of

the first half to trail 8-7 when Johnson County rattled off a 9-0 run over the next 5 minutes.

Jamie Peel ended the Red Dev-il drought with a 3-pointer with 3 minutes remaining, followed in short order by a pair of baskets by Davis, to close Johnson Coun-ty’s lead to 17-14.

Juanita Robinson connected on a jumper at the buzzer to ex-tend the lead to 19-14 at intermis-sion.

Davis ended a second-half scoring lull with a bucket to close the gap to three, 19-16.

That was as close as Allen could get.

The Cavaliers’ Tineka O’Neal drained a 3-pointer with about 9 minutes left in the game to put

OSAWATOMIE — The compe-tition is heating up as the Allen County Wrestling Club continues to thrive as the 2013 season hits high gear.

“The competition is getting tougher,” Coach John Taylor said after several area wrestlers brought home top-four finishes Sunday at the Osawatomie Open.

“Our kids performed well and are using what they have learned in practice,” Taylor said. “Every coach wants to see the kids use the tools we have given them, re-gardless of the win or loss.”

The wrestling club will con-tinue to make weekly road trips until hosting their own competi-tion in Iola March 2 at Iola High School.

“We encourage everyone in our community to come out to see how well these kids are doing,” Taylor said. “I promise, you won’t be disappointed.”

Home not so sweet for Red Devil basketball squads


A second-half lull did in Allen Community College’s men once again Wednesday.

The Red Devils led 18-9 early in the contest and 27-25 at halftime over visiting Johnson County at intermission.

But the Cavaliers scored six straight points early after inter-mission to take the lead for the first time. Allen later tied the game but never regained the lead in a 65-54 loss.

The defeat keeps the Red Devils winless in Jayhawk Conference Eastern Division play (0-9) and 4-17 overall.

“We started out strong, but once we got the early lead, we started playing a little bit selfishly, taking early 3-pointers,” Red Devil coach Andy Shaw said. “I was disap-pointed with our effort, especial-ly because of how hard we played our last couple of games. We had good effort at different points, but not a full 40 minutes.”

Johnson County’s Logan Hen-richs drained a 3-pointer with just

under 6 minutes left to break open a one-point lead for the Cavaliers. Cameron Blue drained a pair of free throws for the Red Devils at the 5:33 mark to cut the lead to 48-46, but Christian Hildebrant responded with a 3-point play for the Cavaliers with 4:43 left to kick off an 11-0 run over the next 2:29 to seal the win.

DeAndrae Barnette drained a pair of 3-pointers the final 1:44, but Allen got no closer than eight points.

The ending was a far cry from the beginning for the Red Devils.

Bryce Schippers drained a 3-pointer to break a 7-7 deadlock. His trey at the midway point of the first half, followed by a pull-up jumper at the 9:30 mark pushed the Red Devils on top 18-9.

Tony Jones and Henrichs trig-gered a 9-0 Cavalier run over the next 2 1/2 minutes, capped by Henrichs’ basket with just under 7 minutes left in the half.

Allen stayed even or just ahead through the balance of the half.

Johnson Countypulls away todrop Allen men

By DAVE SKRETTAAP Sports Writer

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Kansas State’s bench had be-come a popular place in the first half Wednesday night.

Rodney McGruder had taken a seat after picking up two fouls in the first 2 minutes against Texas. Martavious Irving quick-ly joined him. And then Will Spradling staggered in their direction after breaking his nose, blood spilling into a towel pressed tightly against his face.

Didn’t seem to matter one bit, though.

The way the No. 18 Wildcats

were playing, coach Bruce Weber could have grabbed the equip-ment manager off the end of the bench and put him into the game with the same result.

Kansas State rolled to an 83-57 victory.

Thomas Gipson had 17 points off the bench, Omari Lawrence added a career-best 12 and An-gel Rodriguez chipped in 11 points and eight assists as the Wildcats (16-4, 5-2) rolled to their most lopsided win in the series since an 87-60 victory on Dec. 8, 1971.

Suddenly, the Wildcats are back in a second-place logjam in

the Big 12.“We had two tough losses, so

we had to bounce back,” said Lawrence, who played 19 min-utes because of the Wildcats’ foul trouble. “We came out with a lot of energy today.”

Not so much the Longhorns (9-11, 1-6), who committed 18 turn-overs.

“They came out, they were ter-rific,” Texas coach Rick Barnes said, “and we certainly helped them, not fighting. Not fighting their early determination, their intensity. We didn’t match them from the beginning. We had chances.”

LAWRENCE — Vince De-Grado has some tired athletes on his hands.

Running in their third meet in three weeks, Allen Com-munity College’s indoor track team has reached the point of the season where tired legs are common, noted DeGrado, the team’s coach.

“That is kind of expected this time of year with where our training is going.”

The squad took part in the 2013 Jayhawk Classic Friday at the University of Kansas.

Among the highlights:Bruce Barclay broke his

own school record in the 60-meter hurdles and qualified for nationals with his sixth-place finish at 8.28 seconds.

DAILY CRYPTOQUOTES - Here’s how to work it:

Sudoku is like a crossword puzzle, but uses numbers instead of words. The puzzle is a box of 81 squares, subdivided into 3x3 cubes of 9 squares each. Some squares are filled in with numbers. The rest should be filled in by the puzzler.Fill in the blank squares allowing the numbers 1-9 to appear only once in every row, once in ev-ery column and once in every 3x3 box. One-star puzzles are for begin-ners, and the difficulty gradually increases through the week to a very chal-lenging five-star puzzle.

Dear Dr. Roach: I have pain in my tailbone area and have had a colonoscopy and two pelvic CT scans, but nothing was found. Is there a special-ist I can see, and do you have any suggestions? — J.B.

Answer: It sounds as though you may have coccy-dynia, which simply means “pain” (dynia) in the “tail-bone” (coccyx). It’s usually associated with abnormal movement of the coccyx on the spine. This is generally treated by an orthopedic sur-geon or pain-management specialist. Treatment in-cludes not sitting on hard sur-faces, using a specialized or-thopedic cushion and the use of anti-inflammatories. Very severe cases may require sur-gery.

Dear Dr. Roach: With re-gard to West Nile virus: If I am one of the majority of people who fight it off with no more symptoms than a cold, have I built up antibodies that prevent me from contracting it again? — P.I.

Answer: West Nile virus is a new illness in this country. It is spread by mosquitoes. Most people, about 80 per-cent, have no symptoms at all, and 20 percent will have

symptoms resembling flu, in-cluding fever, headache, body aches, nausea and vomiting. About 1 person in 150 will de-velop severe illness, including coma, convulsions, muscle weakness and vision loss. Sometimes the neurologic ef-fects are permanent. Because this disease can be serious, especially among the elderly, prevention is key. Insect repel-lent, long sleeves and pants (especially if outside at dawn or dusk), and draining stand-ing water where mosquitoes can breed are all effective.

It is believed that immu-nity to West Nile virus is life-long, but like all diseases, im-munity may wane after many years. Also, most people can’t be sure they have had West Nile virus, so it just makes sense to continue to try to avoid mosquito bites.

Dear Dr. Roach: My daugh-ter has soreness and clicking in her jaw. She said it locked up. She says she can’t chew food normally anymore. The dentist referred her to an oral surgeon, but he wants $5,000 to treat her (including physi-

cal therapy and an appliance). What should I do? — R.C.

Answer: It sounds like your daughter has a mod-erately severe case of TMJ syndrome. TMJ stands for “temporomandibular joint,” which is the source of the pain and other problems. Common causes of TMJ pain include tooth grinding at night, which is very common; arthritis in the TMJ; dental problems, which cause the person to overuse the non-af-fected side; and stress, which may cause clenching of the facial and jaw muscles.

Treatment appropriate for everybody with TMJ pain includes application of an ice pack followed by a warm compress, eating softer foods, careful chewing with up-and-down and not side-to-side movement, and avoiding chewing gum. Anti-inflam-matory medications such as ibuprofen also may be help-ful. A visit to the dentist is es-sential to make sure there are no dental issues that need to be corrected.

Physical therapy may be useful for some people, es-pecially if the conservative measures above haven’t done the job. But the appliance the oral surgeon recommended has been very effective for many people. However, $5,000 sounds like it’s out of the range of reasonable. Find an-other TMJ specialist.

Blue’s basket with 1:24 left gave the Red Devils a 25-23 lead.

Johnson County opened the second half with an 11-3 run. The Cavaliers were up 37-30 before Seth Walden drained a 3-point-er, followed by a Schippers jumper, cutting the deficit to two. A steal led to an Alex Keiswetter basket to tie the score at 37-37 with 12:11 left.

Johnson County followed with a four-point run before Andrew Rountree drained a pair of free throws for Allen.

Andrew Rountree’s free throws with 10:51 remain-ing snapped a four-point Johnson County run. Walden’s second 3-pointer of the half cut the deficit to 43-42. Myles Hibler hit two free throws to restore a three-point lead before Tray Fountain scored for Al-len at the 6:26 mark, which wound up being Allen’s last field goal of the night.

Schippers led Allen with 10 points, followed by Roun-tree with nine points and six rebounds. DeAndrae

Barnette chipped in with eight points. Rountree had four assists and four steals. Walden had eight points and three steals. Fountain and Keiswetter also had two steals.

All five Johnson County starters scored in double figures. Hibler had 16 points, Henrichs 15, Jones 14 and Hildebrant and Pat Jones with 10 apiece.

“I have to credit Johnson County,” Shaw said. “They were able to score 42 points in the second half, almost doubling what they had in the first.”

field goal of the night for Day (3 points), Allen’s leading scorer at 14 points per game.

Tegan Michael, hobbled by injuries this winter, also qualified for nationals in the 1000-meter run, finish-ing seventh at 2 minutes, 36.92 seconds.

Tucker Morgan also qual-ified for nationals in the 1000m by finishing fourth in his second at 2:39.15. He also ran the 800-meter leg of the distance medley re-lay, DeGrado noted.

Terika Henry broke a school record in the 200-me-ter dash on the women’s

side, finishing eighth at 25.93 seconds.

“A lot of our athletes ran in events they don’t nor-mally train for,” DeGrado said. “But we wanted to get some work done this week.”

Allen ran against a mix-ture of Division I, Divi-sion II, NAIA and other junior colleges, DeGrado noted. “This gave our kids a chance to compete against a wide range of athletes and divisions.”

The squad travels to Jo-plin this weekend for the
